Viresh, would it be difficult to make another measurement of the same
workload with the said workqueues converted to unbound?  I think that
would at least provide a nice reference point.

My heart is shattered after getting the results :)


Cluster A15 Energy      Cluster A7 Energy       Total
-------------------------      -----------------------       ------

Without this patchset (Energy in Joules):
---------------------------------------------------
0.322866                2.619137                2.942003


With this patchset (Energy in Joules):
-----------------------------------------------
0.182721                2.443745                2.626466


With WQ Unbound (Energy in Joules):
-----------------------------------------------
0.2289042              2.2514632              2.4803674

So the scheduler does know what it's doing after all, which is a nice
news.  Given the result, the best thing to do would be somehow marking
these workqueues as unbound for powersaving?

Thanks!
